how to find out the current moving amplitude/heading

[scs.s...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'd have a new question to ask: for my boats (still the boats, yes :) ) I would like to implement wind/wave directions and speed now and they should influence the boats direction/speed.

For that I would like to use resultant force (sin/cos) functions, but I would need the current angle/amplitude/heading (?), the boat is moving at, when moving towards a target (go_to).
Mathematically, in my formula this would be the alpha angle:

These are the basic formulas I would like to use, in order to splitt the resultant speed into the x and y speed:
F(x) = v*sin(alpha)
F(y) = v*cos(alpha)

Is there a way to find out, what the current angle of movement of an agent is?

Thanks a lot!
Sheba

Hi,

If you are using the moving skill, you can use the built-in attribute "heading" that gives the heading (angle in degree) of the agent.

Cheers,

Patrick
